Shure ULXD4Q Quad Channel Digital Wireless Receiver (G50 Band)

The Shure ULXD4Q Quad Channel Digital Wireless Receiver offers four channels of uncompromising audio quality, RF signal stability, and advanced setup features in a space-efficient single rack unit. Rugged yet lightweight and compact, the 1RU all-metal chassis houses four independent receivers, each with its own audio and RF meters, gain control, and XLR outputs that can be either direct or summed for flexible signal routing.

At only 7.6 pounds, the ULXD4Q offers space savings in the rack and cost savings when shipping. With RF cascade and two Ethernet ports, units can easily share RF signal and be networked together for simplified frequency coordination and deployment. For networked audio applications, Dante digital networking allows multiple channels of audio over a single Ethernet cable.

With the suite of features and benefits ULX-D Digital Wireless Systems offer, the ULXD4Q is truly generations ahead of any other available receiver in its class, and brings a new level of performance and scale to professional sound reinforcement.

Note: When purchasing separate wireless components, please match their frequency bands to ensure proper system operation.

A breakthrough in wireless audio quality, Shure digital processing enables ULX-D to deliver the purest reproduction of source material ever available in a wireless system, with a wide selection of trusted Shure microphones to choose from. Extended 20 Hz - 20 kHz frequency range and flat response captures every detail with clarity, presence, and incredibly accurate low end and transient response. With greater than 120 dB, ULX-D delivers wide dynamic range for excellent signal-to-noise performance. Optimized for any input source, ULX-D eliminates the need for transmitter gain adjustments.

ULX-D sets a new and unprecedented standard for spectral efficiency and signal stability. The intermodulation performance of ULX-D is an incredible advancement in wireless performance, enabling a dramatic increase in the number of simultaneous active transmitters on one TV channel. Rock-solid RF signal with zero audio artifacts extends over the entire range. For applications where secure wireless transmission is required, ULX-D offers Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit encrypted signal for unbreakable privacy.

For scalability and modular flexibility, ULX-D receivers come in single, dual, and even quad channel versions. The dual and quad channel receivers offer conveniences such as RF cascade, internal power supply, bodypack frequency diversity, audio output channel summing, and Dante digital networking for multi-channel audio over Ethernet. All receivers offer High-Density mode for applications where high channel counts are needed, greatly increasing the amount of simultaneous channels possible over one frequency band.

Advanced Lithium-ion rechargeability provides extended transmitter battery life over alkaline batteries, battery life metering in hours and minutes accurate to within 15 minutes, and detailed tracking of battery health status.

Generations ahead of any other available system in its class, ULX-D brings a new level of performance to professional sound reinforcement.

Breakthrough Technologies
ULX-D Digital Wireless represents an incredible advancement in wireless performance. Shure innovation brings to market new features and technologies that dramatically increase spectrum efficiency, dependability, and signal routing convenience.

Transparent 24-Bit Digital Audio
Signal stability with no audio artifacts extends over the entire 100 meter (300 feet) line-of-sight range using standard supplied dipole antennas.

Networked Control
Ethernet networking enables streamlined setup across multiple receivers, Wireless Workbench integration, frequency coordination via Axient Spectrum Manager, AMX and Crestron control as well as DanteTM digital networked audio.

Lithium Ion Rechargeability
Lithium Ion rechargeability provides up to 11 hours of use on a single charge, while displaying battery life in hours and minutes accurate to 15 minutes.

Signal Stability
The 24-bit / 48 kHz digital audio delivers incredibly clear and accurate capturing of source material. It offers a wide frequency range with flat response for superb low range and transient response.

Advanced Encryption
The 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard guarantees unbreachable privacy - for all installations where secure transmission is key. A new, unique, randomized encryption key is generated every time encryption is enabled.

Scalable Hardware
ULX-D receivers are available in single, dual and quad channel configurations, along with a wide selection of Shure microphones to accommodate any size installation.

Form Factors
ULX-D bodypack and handheld transmitters provide complete mobility for presenters, while boundary and gooseneck base transmitters accommodate meeting rooms with flexible seating layouts.

High Density Mode
Optimizes the system by running at 1mW RF transmit power and reducing the modulation bandwidth. The result is nearly three times the number of useable frequencies, enabling up to 47 systems in an open 6MHz TV channel.

Bodypack Frequency Diversity
The signals from a common source via two bodypack transmitters with different frequencies are routed to receiver's audio outputs. In case of RF interference, switching between channels occurs in milliseconds, without interrupting the audio.

Audio Summing
Combining of selected audio channels to be routed to all selected outputs and allows the receiver to function as a 2 or 4 channel mixer. All XLR outputs of the selected channels provide the summed audio.
